Hello everyone,
I'm a long time lurker here who's learned to knit socks from on-line videos.
I knit left handed, but that only means I turn the directions around to
favour the left side. However, I now want to learn to knit mittens (for
Christmas gifts) and desperately want to find on-line videos to show me how,
especially when it comes to the thumb! I'm rather knew at knitting, so the
more basic the directions the better. Thanks in advance for any
information you can provide. :)
Maureen

Hi Maureen,
I haven't had any luck locating a video that teaches how to knit
mittens but I wonder if since you have mastered socks (you're not a
begginner knitier if you can do that in my opinion) that you might not
try knitting mittens from a written pattern?
Mittens don't have to be knit in the round - there are two needle
patterns if you prefer to knit flat and seam after.
Regards,
VP

I did a search and found this but it's in DVD format and not that
expensive......

Thank you Donna. I think I may just have the answers now with the e-mails
you've all sent to me. This group is great! Thank you all. I'm looking
forward to spending more time here as my knitting obsession prospers. :)
